Nevada County picayune., 1887-02-09

 This man. The news coming that the young man had been arrested in North Carolina threw him off the track for a while, but he soon learned that this was mistake and again commenced tracing the alleged murderer. He heard of him in San Antonio, first as a waiter in d restaurant, then in some other capacity. A letter was written to Capt. Kerrigan, Chief of the Police of Nashville, who procured the requisition from Gov. Bate and sent it out. After presenting this to the Chief Exec utive of the Lone Star State, and getting that officials warrant, MT. 1 Olive
 WENT To SAN ANTONIO,
 and last Sunday morning walked up to his prospective prisoner and called him by his name. Morris jumped, but did not make any at tempt to hold on to his assumed cognomen. On being informed that he was under arrest he quiet ly submitted. The handcuffs were put on him, and he was kept under guard until the start was made for this State.
 Mir. w. A. Langford, who is an old Tennessean, accompa nied the captor. On getting here yesterday the prisoner was carried to the police station and put behind the bars, where he sat allday, moody and silent, and with his hands locked together. An American reporter visited him and tried to get him to tell his story. He at first abso- lutely refused to say thing and going away from the bars, but tin- ally was drawn out to some extent as regards his travels. After the commission of the deed, he says his first impulse was to give up to the authorities, but before getting to any of them he decided to run away.
 GOING ON HORSEBACK
 to Memphis he there sold his ani- mal and went down the Mississippi river to the mouth of the Arkan- sas. He went up this stream till he reached farm known as the Banks Farm, where he had a brother. Here, remaining short time, the restless fugitive went down to the mouth of Red river and took a steamer for New Orleans.
 In the Crescent City he remain ed for some time. The Exposition was in full blast and the great crowds of people continually com ing and going afforded ample pro- lection from the authorities. Leaving this place he got aboard the Morgan Line for Texas, but wandered down into Mexico, where fugitive criminals are thought to be sate. But he came back last year from Mexico across into the Lone Stare Empire and into Williamson county. The story from this point out has already been told.
 Sheriff John T. Olive, to whom the credit of having caught the al. legged murderer belongs, is one of the youngest Sherifis in Texas, be- ing only 32, and is now serving his second term. He has made a brilliant record as an officer, and is exceedingly popular with all classes. He has had several ex. citing episodes in his history, and several narrow escapes from death. In one of these he killed the two men who had come to make a corpse of him. The men were robbers who had been caught with some stolen property in their pos. session by MT. Olive, then depu. ty, and arrested and jailed by him. In few days they gave bond and were released. Olive didn't know anything about this and so the at tack made on him that night was wholly unexpected. They went to his house and called him out. One, when he had gotten in n few feet, lcveled his pistol and fired, but just as he did so, oppor. tuncly, the brave young officer threw up his hand and knocked the weapon partly out of the way, The ball grazed his face making d wound the scar of which still re- mains. Before the man could shoot again bullet had been put in a vital part of his body. Another effective shot was fired at the second of the would-be assassins, which laid him lOW ere vpt he had
